Playing Philosophy. MitchC Mar 08, 10:54

If you are a billionaire its go big or go home. Buy max of the best investment, then the next best, repeat until out of money. {nm} DTravel Mar 08, 15:08

My philosophy ndmaster Mar 08, 20:02

I read this on the board a few months ago. Short what you just sold and buy what you just covered. Do it to the "max" GruntNoNeck Mar 09, 09:24

I always max on everything I buy (or short)...it's only play money and nothing worse than owning 10K shares of a blockbuster! {nm} Flash Mar 10, 05:18

I max, either way, if I want to invest, and I radar if I just want to keep an eye for later decision... {nm} Lukasck Mar 12, 13:01

Started May 29 2018, just crossed the $20M mark! Not sure if that's good or slow. :) {nm} bluefishbaker Mar 07, 08:07

It's a game we play for fun and in our own time. Don't make it a competition. Doing Great!! {nm} chipshot Mar 07, 08:29

sounds good to me {nm} daveart Mar 07, 08:46

just enjoy the milestones whenever they may come...congrats! {nm} tealfan Mar 07, 09:12

It's now part of my morning getting-into-work routine. I love it. {nm} bluefishbaker Mar 07, 11:44

Congrats {nm} cj19 Mar 07, 19:19

You really compete against yourself...everyone has different times to play, so keep up your efforts!! {nm} Flash Mar 08, 05:01

Nice. I bet you get to 40m in less than half the time. MattW Mar 10, 20:02

BONDS has crossed the line over 100 in just over 5 months and is ready to delist... Buy BONDS xXx Mar 05, 20:19

congrats {nm} oneman Mar 05, 20:51

It is so much easier to earn the same ROR with small ports. Duh NVT_vs_bonds Mar 05, 23:19

At the start there is a lot of low hanging fruit. As you go along, the DROi goes lower. Also, as you have more H$, more choices. Buy BONDS xXx Mar 06, 05:59

THANK? {nm} psisson Mar 06, 12:17

Thank You, MR. BINNS! Once Again You Have Managed BONDS To A Fast And Very Successful Conclusion. kibitzer Mar 06, 10:01

How can you people keep investing in a Fund that loses 80% of its value every few months!!???!? DTravel Mar 06, 10:51

Lol! We must be bad investors... {nm} Lukasck Mar 07, 15:25

Well done, sir. Thanks! {nm} tatoufan Mar 06, 16:21

Thanks for your work on the fund {nm} cj19 Mar 07, 19:19

Really appreciate the free H$ and hard work on your part !! {nm} Flash Mar 08, 05:02

Why is it that there are no Starbonds attached to BRDBX? {nm} rickmonday Mar 03, 11:29

If a movie doesn't report box office, its starbonds are detached and will not adjust after the moviestock delists. BRDBX hasn't reported BO RogerMore Mar 03, 11:42

Maybe they're attached, but no one who sees them survives? {nm} DTXbro Mar 04, 09:22

:-) {nm} PhoneHome Mar 05, 11:23

Thanks. Good one bro! {nm} rickmonday Mar 05, 18:44

Shorting CMARV - "Get woke, go broke" is real. kswheels Feb 28, 10:33

Well said oh great and wise trader who holds only one security. {nm} GruntNoNeck Feb 28, 10:48

LOLs {nm} chipshot Feb 28, 11:46

Especially that he's been playing since 2006... and has a 3M port... (millions, not billions...) {nm} Lukasck Mar 01, 07:29

he used to have a really big account.... but he shorted Wonder Woman. {nm} RazorHawk Mar 01, 09:56

Hollywood has yet to go broke by pissing off Nerds. {nm} DTravel Feb 28, 15:37

Shorter: 'Comic book moviegoers are stale-thinking vestigial bigots running against the grain of modern America.' We're not persuaded. {nm} DTXbro Mar 03, 11:11

What's your disappointment level, under 100m? I say 95% chance it goes over that. MattW Mar 03, 16:02

I am more concerned with week 2 falloff. Would be fine with H$100m and a week 2 crash. (nm) kswheels Mar 03, 19:48

Thor3 had a 2.5 total multiplier. Combined with today's tracking of 125+ we're looking at 300 total dom on the lower end MattW Mar 05, 09:58

140 or more OW * 2.3 or better delist multi = 322. MattW Mar 06, 20:42

My only regret is shorting so soon. $90M opening $225M or less after a month. (NT) {nm} kswheels Mar 07, 09:27

349.4-352.8 on 4th Sunday guess {nm} MattW Mar 26, 16:30

HSX Port for Sale!!! Presidents Day special $74.99 momentum858 Feb 18, 11:08

Ebay may be a better route. ndmaster Feb 18, 14:52

I remember there was a time way back when that you could sell back your port for $1 per million. That was 20 years ago. HSX also had prizes. {nm} chipshot Feb 20, 07:20

You could also purchase HSX swag. {nm} GruntNoNeck Feb 20, 08:27

like this... RazorHawk Feb 20, 09:51

nice. I lost all mine in the many moves. Bring back the swag!! {nm} chipshot Feb 20, 10:34

Hear, hear! {nm} GruntNoNeck Feb 20, 11:18

Milestone: 74-day old port = Up 100 percent! New Projection: Reach No. 3 spot by Fall 2021 {More...-->} NeilSite_VanThomas Feb 13, 12:17

Let me get this straight....you went from 2M to 4M in 74 days ....and you posted? Buy BONDS xXx Feb 13, 23:33

Man you are cluesless on this.Look at the leaderboard there are 10 ports that have done better then that since Jan 15th. hotsambatcho Feb 14, 04:51

Ok, now, I think he's just trolling us. I hope so, anyway. ndmaster Feb 14, 16:10

First 2 million is the hardest ..bahahaha. {nm} chipshot Feb 14, 09:48

especially when you don't understand how to play the game {nm} hotsambatcho Feb 14, 10:23

Oh, I understand how to play the game alright: Spend 18+ hours/day on this site following Kaigee = HSX billions...Yeah, no thanks. {nm} NeilSite_VanThomas Feb 16, 20:34

Hardly. I basically play on my lunch hour from work, have been since I started. DTravel Feb 16, 22:24

Honestly, Do you even read what I write? (It's so often misconstrued...) NeilSite_VanThomas Feb 17, 11:03

If your posts are being so frequently misconstrued by so many other players, perhaps you should consider what you are writing and how. {nm} DTravel Feb 17, 17:10

I play about 1 hour a week. If you did understand the game would be more successful. hotsambatcho Feb 18, 04:49

Playing Bonds alone 1-2 hours a week can make you a Billionaire faster then your strategy. AJRimmer Feb 18, 07:54

OMG! I literally have said numerous times since my return that I have no strategy--only passively playing! You proved my point :) {nm} NeilSite_VanThomas Feb 18, 08:20

OMG! I literally have said numerous times since my return that I have no strategy--only passively playing! You proved my point :) {nm} NeilSite_VanThomas Feb 18, 08:20

But you somehow project to pass people who have a strategy. I guess trolls gotta troll. If you every reach 1 billion I will reset my port. {nm} AJRimmer Feb 18, 09:27

Proof of my port before I sold it ndmaster Feb 22, 21:36

Does an Amazon distribution mean the same as "straight to video"? {nm} BuenaOnda Feb 10, 16:17

If you search for movies distributed by Amazon, only one (so far) has not reported any box office. {nm} DTravel Feb 10, 18:01

No. {nm} Antibody Feb 11, 09:18

RALP2 blockbuster warrant : what am I missing in the equation? anukul_dixit Feb 10, 10:18

Everybody that is playing has already purchased it. {nm} GruntNoNeck Feb 10, 11:52

Some players just ignore BWs. (nm) Patient Player Feb 11, 00:12

Call to Raise the Share Limit on Movies Alby Feb 10, 06:43

One million shares? R U nuts? {nm} GruntNoNeck Feb 10, 08:05

If you could buy a million shares of RALP2.BW would you? {nm} ndmaster Feb 10, 14:27

Raising the share ceiling favors those already doing very well. Plus... DTravel Feb 10, 13:18

I've always said it should be unlimited. The only thing limiting the number of shares you can purchase does is create inefficiencies ndmaster Feb 10, 14:26

What I really don't understand is that HSX wants the data to be as ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE. ndmaster Feb 10, 14:28

For this to happen, I think you’d have to have something like daily trading limits. RogerMore Feb 10, 15:39

You are missing the point. Your comment shows that you don't understand markets very well. ndmaster Feb 10, 20:26

What value is there in predicting the 12 week box office of a movie that’s already opened, and has grossed over $100M? RogerMore Feb 10, 21:01

An "unlimited" market with no genuine financial risk would seem to invite manipulation (but current limits seem stale) {nm} DTXbro Feb 13, 07:43

BWs are just a bonus so that traders can hold a major hit beyond 4 weeks. The price is not used as a predictive daa. {nm} Antibody Feb 11, 09:16

Any "solution" would be to take the H$Billions out of the game, not to generate even more H$Billions. {nm} Antibody Feb 11, 09:17

Just take the last three zeros from all accounts with more than a billion dollars! {nm} GruntNoNeck Feb 11, 09:35

Being a Billionaire is a lot of work to move the needle. I'm opting to just ride the interest rate yield. Alby Feb 12, 18:50

That you want to concentrate into fewer stocks is actually an arguments against raising the limit. Antibody Feb 13, 11:41

I'd rather have huge concentrated positons in a few stocks than spend a lifetime chasing nickels in a zillion stocks. Alby Feb 13, 20:44

Personally I disagree with that. That takes away much of the challenge and need to think about what to do. {nm} DTravel Feb 14, 11:05

There is merit to that claim, although the stakes of being right/wrong are much higher. Alby Feb 16, 11:10

Bring back the merchandise exchange -- still can't believe we didn't get the hat, mug, pen, etc. {nm} DTXbro Feb 13, 09:08

Anyone here started day-trading with any amount of success? Nigel_Ray Feb 06, 15:57

I mean in the REAL world :-) {nm} Nigel_Ray Feb 06, 15:57

Check this out... BuildTheWall Feb 06, 16:31

No, one game is enough. {nm} GruntNoNeck Feb 07, 08:39

Thanks!! Will give it a shot and see how I go. {nm} Nigel_Ray Feb 07, 13:19

Yes, I trade commodities futures daily (e.g., Crude oil, Gold, Soybeans, Wheat, etc.) {nm} NeilSite_VanThomas Feb 07, 04:16

With a consistent level of success, or a lot of back and forth? {nm} PhoneHome Feb 07, 11:55

My (real life) trading strategy has changed considerably over the years...and you learn from your mistakes. {More-->} NeilSite_VanThomas Feb 08, 08:01

Sounds a lot like doubling down on red or black on the roulette table. {nm} GruntNoNeck Feb 08, 08:47

For some, it is roulette...and there's always a risk, but I have always argued for folks like myself it's more skill-based. {nm} NeilSite_VanThomas Feb 08, 14:23

Woohoo first $2,000,000 day. I'll sure to pass Oleg_max by Easter at this pace j/k. {nm} hotsambatcho Jan 28, 18:55

WTG {nm} AJRimmer Jan 28, 19:10

Those types of days are always nice!! {nm} Flash Jan 29, 08:25

WOW, that is an increase of 40% {nm} GruntNoNeck Jan 29, 11:46

Free money like the HTGSC BW makes it easier to do. {nm} hotsambatcho Jan 29, 12:18

I'm sure you played Classic Cash, too. {nm} ndmaster Jan 30, 13:44

Actually no I dont bother its a waste of time. {nm} hotsambatcho Jan 31, 15:52

I was sure, SURE, all of your success had come from playing Classic Cash! {nm} ndmaster Jan 31, 16:27

He must be cheating there is no other way to explain it. {nm} AJRimmer Feb 01, 10:10

Oh No you're on to me i hope I dont get banned. {nm} hotsambatcho Feb 03, 18:51

New Rule: "Grow Up" (1/25/2019); Perfectly explains "Bumblebee" and Comic-Based Movies (More-->) NeilSite_VanThomas Jan 27, 17:38

WHy do you play then? You obviously don't want to be successful at it as you ignore others advice hotsambatcho Jan 27, 18:06

He already knows everything. He's the best. We should all just quit. {nm} ndmaster Jan 27, 20:49

Wow this from someone who wasted more time on Classic Cash-Mogul-Boxoffice battle to earn $ then actually playing the game. {nm} AJRimmer Jan 28, 04:55

You mean if I sell my port I have to pay income tax on it!!!??? {nm} GruntNoNeck Jan 28, 07:55

He is speaking out of his ass. ndmaster Jan 28, 23:06

there is no point in clamping your buttocks if the gas is already passed. {nm} GruntNoNeck Jan 29, 09:21

JFC, dude, this is a game! ndmaster Jan 28, 16:04

He can't he doesn't understand how it works thus he trolls. {nm} hotsambatcho Jan 28, 17:48

Question about Shorting AwardOptions budque Jan 25, 12:52

yes you get the full value...i.e however much it dropped from your purchase price down to 0 {nm} tealfan Jan 25, 13:12

Milestone: $7B... thanks for all the help!...*hands out Super Bowl tickets* {nm} tealfan Jan 25, 09:20

congrats {nm} oneman Jan 25, 09:22

Congratulations! The first $7 billion are the hardest. {nm} RogerMore Jan 25, 10:39

Well done, tealfan! {nm} tatoufan Jan 25, 12:23

To quote our resident superhero, "Slow down!" DTravel Jan 25, 13:01

Heh heh!! {nm} Flash Jan 26, 07:01

Keep on keepin' on. {nm} GruntNoNeck Jan 25, 19:20

Congrats {nm} cj19 Jan 25, 20:57

Nice milestone!! Kudos! {nm} Flash Jan 26, 07:01

How to play Award options anukul_dixit Jan 24, 23:26

Similar, but only one derivative will pay out per catagory. {nm} tatoufan Jan 25, 12:28

Milestone! (not really) I am now better than half of ALL PLAYERS ON HSX!!! And, it only took me a week. NVT_vs_bonds Jan 24, 13:16

Oh my gosh. This game must be easy! {nm} GruntNoNeck Jan 24, 13:21

If this continues, I'm worried that by Easter, I may slip to #7 LTD. Or even #8! {nm} RogerMore Jan 24, 16:39

Hmm ndmaster Jan 25, 08:29

Them thar's a lot of inactive ports, mister!! {nm} Flash Jan 25, 08:18

Can’t we have a column indicating net gain / loss in the day apart from the overall gain / loss for each stock ? {nm} ashsagar Jan 16, 19:21

It's pretty simple math. {nm} ndmaster Jan 16, 19:40

It could be called "Today's Change". {nm} GruntNoNeck Jan 18, 09:37

Doesn’t give the net change for the total stock value in the day .. {nm} ashsagar Jan 20, 03:13

multilpy your shares times the change {nm} jdolphin Jan 20, 12:31

It would be easier to have a column indicating that .. {nm} ashsagar Jan 22, 05:59

FFS ndmaster Jan 22, 16:02

Yep! {nm} GruntNoNeck Jan 22, 19:01

#300! (I had a good day yesterday, yea me!) DTravel Jan 16, 10:18

hehe...congrats! {nm} tealfan Jan 16, 11:48

Keep on keepin' on. {nm} GruntNoNeck Jan 17, 14:07

Congrats {nm} cj19 Jan 17, 15:44

Haha! Well done, congrats. {nm} tatoufan Jan 19, 10:17

What has been the best day and best week for most players since the adjust went away? MattW Jan 16, 08:16

I'd say my best day (and probably best week) but I don't want to rub it in. {nm} jdolphin Jan 17, 00:07

Whoops - adjust was still happening then - so best day since adjust 01/11/2017 - 12.68 mil {nm} jdolphin Jan 17, 01:55

Best day Jan 15/19...H$12,990,450. I just do daily, not weekly, but I would imagine this week. {nm} GruntNoNeck Jan 17, 14:10

You did better than me the 15th, and with a much smaller port too, nice. {nm} MattW Jan 18, 22:29

Thanks, I am heavy into bonds. We were close once upon a time though. GruntNoNeck Jan 19, 19:22
